"Huh? Harry didn't get on the train?"
Roger's strange behavior during his divination naturally piqued the curiosity of Hermione, Luna, and Neville.
Familiar with Roger's personality, they directly asked him when they were confused.
The answer they received from Roger, however, was unexpected.
"It's nothing, just a small matter," Roger waved his hand, signaling them not to worry.
Hermione and Neville, who had been a little concerned, immediately felt at ease upon hearing Roger's words.
Since Roger said so, there must be no problem! They had always placed a high degree of trust in him.
After the group stopped asking questions, Roger took out a book from his luggage and began to read.
For Roger now, conducting magical experiments yielded greater rewards than simple reading. After all, his theoretical framework was already largely complete; what he lacked was practical application.
But he wasn't Edison, so how could he do something that might cause a commotion on a moving train?
...
...
...
While Roger was leisurely reading, Harry on the other side was consumed by anxiety.
Outwardly, Harry appeared to be an ordinary young wizard, but from a magical perspective, he was entirely different.
The vast destiny of a nation was tightly bound to him by prophecy, potent ancient Love's Magic flowed through his veins, and a part of Voldemort's soul lay dormant within him.
Furthermore, due to his research, development, and frequent use of Time Magic, a peculiar power originating from time had begun to deeply integrate with him.
The event that Roger hadn't anticipated was related to this power.
"Harry! Wake up!"
"Hurry up and get up, or you'll be late!" Uncle Vernon's furious voice rang out.
Harry rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked at the sky, which hadn't fully brightened yet. He wanted to sleep a little longer, but suddenly a jolt went through him.
Today was the day school started!
Yawning, Harry replied, "Coming, I'm coming!"
Meanwhile, dozens of Harrys, cloaked in invisibility, watched their 'original' self wash up and prepare to eat, filled with anticipation for the new semester.
It's about to begin again.
A new cycle.
Perhaps Harry and Voldemort truly shared an inexplicable connection in terms of destiny.
After Harry, guided by Roger's advice, embarked on the path of Time Magic, Voldemort, on a whim from Roger's casual remark, also began to tamper with time.
Having received Roger's tutelage, Harry had long mastered Legilimency, preventing Voldemort from stealing crucial information from his mind and shielding him from Voldemort's mental pollution.
However, the relationship between the two could not be severed by mere Legilimency.
Voldemort, in some unknown location, had initiated 'Time Gu Technique,' constantly traversing through time and space, causing the minds of his past selves to battle each other in order to forge the strongest 'self.'
Harry, following Roger's ideas, had been trying to learn to conceal his true self in past timelines, practicing the 'Immortal Body of the River of Time.'
If only one of them were playing such a trick, it wouldn't be a problem.
But the issue was that both of them were playing, and their connection at the soul and destiny level was incredibly deep.
This led to a serious consequence!
When both parties used temporal magic, they interfered with each other! In the beginning, this interference was extremely slight, and neither of them noticed.
After all, both of them were learning Time Magic from scratch.
Even when faced with subtle external anomalies, two novices would find it difficult to detect anything unusual.
However, as both delved deeper into their research on Time Magic, the conflict eventually erupted.
And the result was the situation Harry was currently facing.
"It seems our previous strategy still isn't working. Let's think of another way," the Harrys said, looking somewhat dejected.
Last semester, Harry had been determined to confront Voldemort, even at the cost of his own life.
His malice towards his mortal enemy was palpable.
When he discovered that he and Voldemort could interfere with each other's Time Magic, he naturally sought to hinder Voldemort.
Voldemort, not one to be trifled with, who was researching 'Time Gu Technique,' detected Harry's machinations and decisively retaliated.
This resulted in Harry being 'trapped in August,' unable to break free.
He had already cycled through this week more than 20 times.
To be honest, if not for a flash of inspiration he'd had in Greece, which allowed Harry to achieve 'absolute self-trust,' he would likely be battling his past selves by now.
"How about we just..."
"Shut up." The Harry from the 9th cycle had just begun to speak when he was silenced by the other Harrys from subsequent cycles.
They knew their own thoughts from the 9th loop.
He wanted to find someone to help, to ask Roger.
But the Harrys from other loops had different opinions on this.
He didn't want others to solve the mess he had caused.
It was like someone who put a light bulb in their mouth; they would have definitely tried every possible method before going to the hospital, and they usually wouldn't have family accompany them.
Besides a bit of childish pride, he also hoped to solve his predicament without relying on others, to become someone who could stand on their own.
Unless there was truly no other way, he would seek help.
But right now, he wasn't in mortal danger, just trapped in a time loop.
"Let's think again, there must be a way to break through."
...
...
...
"It seems the research can only be temporarily halted," Voldemort sighed regretfully.
Harry had been severely tricked by Voldemort, but Voldemort wasn't doing well either.
Before, when Voldemort was traveling through time and space, Harry had interfered so much that he almost jumped directly onto Dumbledore's face.
It was precisely this near-death experience that made Voldemort determined to go to great lengths to strike back, trapping Harry in a time loop.
Love's Magic only prevented Voldemort from harming Harry; it didn't say he couldn't 'mess with' him in other ways.
He had vented his pent-up frustration.
But the problem hadn't been solved.
He couldn't kill Harry, and Harry could still use the soul he left within his body as a springboard to interfere with his time travel.
Under these circumstances, if he wanted to continue with the Gu Technique, it would be too dangerous.
"...Grindelwald, do you have any good ideas?"
Harry didn't seek outside help, but Voldemort had no such reservations.
Realizing his plan to become a 'master swordsman of Shili Slope' had been interrupted, and he couldn't emerge after achieving ultimate mastery, Voldemort decisively sought answers from the Seer beside him.
"This is simple," Grindelwald glanced at Voldemort casually.
According to their initial agreement, he could not harm Voldemort and had to answer Voldemort's questions about himself truthfully.
"Go to the Ministry of Magic again."
"Attack the Department of Mysteries?" Voldemort assumed this time they were going to attack other departments within the Ministry of Mysteries to obtain crucial information to resolve his entanglement with Harry.
"No... are you interested in becoming the Minister of Magic?"
"Ah?" Voldemort was a bit confused, why did the topic suddenly shift to this? "Knowing Roger as you do, don't you think that little Seer has been too 'quiet' lately?" Grindelwald said meaningfully.
Becoming a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Magic at the age of 11, and driving full cooperation between the German wizarding world and Britain – these things might have been the highlights of a lifetime for others.
But for that outlandish, monstrous little Seer...
He was too quiet. With his abilities, after finishing his first year, his strength had basically reached the pinnacle of wizard civilization.
Yet, he hadn't made any truly significant 'moves.'
This wasn't right.
"Go to the Ministry of Magic. When you infiltrate the Ministry's high ranks, you'll understand," Grindelwald said with a smile.
According to the agreement, Grindelwald had to answer questions, but also because of the agreement, Grindelwald could not tell Voldemort information he was unsure of, to avoid misleading him.
Voldemort's wariness of the Seer once again became the Seer's weapon!
